Katy is a compassionate, well rounded clinical social worker whom I worked with during the year of 2003. Well rounded, down to earth, well liked by staff and all of her patients.

Katy was a Licensed Social Worker with a Masters Degree in the State of Ohio and worked for me in temporary social work positions through PsychTemps, Inc. Katy is a strong, detail oriented person who loves the work she does and takes the best of care for her clients. She is positive, has a good sense of humor, and always reported to work in a timely fashion.. She has excellent clinical skills as well as being able to complete her required paper work on time. I thoroughly enjoyed working with Katy and I wish her all the best in her future career goals.
